Friday Night Craft Party: Pop-Up Valentines

Instructor Emily Martin, who also teaches at the University of Iowa Center for the Book, will show crafty students simple ways to cut paper to make shapes rise out of the fold, like those found in pop-up children’s books.

“Pop-ups are easier to do than many people think,” Martin said. Her class covers basic paper engineering and participants can make any kind of card, not just valentines.

The workshop costs $30 and includes all supplies.
